Actor Stephen Collins admits to sexual abuse of 3 minors during a People Magazine interview. Karen Desoto appears on the NBC News with comments regarding the confession by the actor. In a thousand-word statement, Collins called his behavior “inexcusable,” saying that he has never done anything since his last incident, which he claims came when he exposed himself to a teenage girl in 1994.

“I deeply regret the mistakes I’ve made and any pain I have caused these three women,” Collins wrote. ” I admit to, apologize for, and take responsibility for what I did.”

He writes that he twice exposed himself to a pre-teen girl in 1973, when he was 25 years old, and had another inappropriate encounter with the same girl in his home.

“When the girl and I were watching TV alone, I moved her hand in such a way that caused her to touch me inappropriately,” Collins wrote. “It was a completely impulsive act, and it’s haunted me ever since to think of what I put her through.”
